Tennis programs wanted

The High Desert Tennis Association has started to work more closely with the Southern California Tennis Association (a division of the United States Tennis Association) to develop local tennis programs. If you have or would like to suggest a program for high desert tennis players, e-mail Greg with the details.

Also, we're always looking to increase the number of local tennis venues, and the availability of existing venues. Again, if you have a tennis facility and would like the HDTA and SCTA to help you with programming, including the exciting new QuickStart program for youngsters, let us know.
